Applying Filters to an X-Ray Sensor for Imaging – Archy Preprod

Some sensors require every image taken on them to be adjusted in order to get the best image. To apply filters to an imaging devices so that you don't need to filter images taken individually with this sensor, follow these steps. You can complete this once for each sensor and it will apply to all computers in your office.

If you have not yet downloaded AIS to your computer, do this as the first step. See our article on how to install AIS here.

Go to the Imaging section of your Settings in Archy, located under Settings > Clinical > Imaging

Capture a test image by clicking Capture image. It is best to take an image of actual teeth for this test.

Adjust the sharpness, noise reduction, and gamma as needed. Resolution may be adjusted but is only needed if you are experiencing difficulty with slow upload speeds into Archy.

Click save.

These filters will now be applied every time an image is captured with this sensor on this computer.

Repeat these steps with any other imaging devices as desired.
